The Chhipa's, originally residents of Rajasthan,
eventually migrated to Gujrat where they've built their
own area - Chhipawad. No matter which part of the world
the Chhipa's migrate to, they always call Chhipawad
home. The word 'Chhipa' comes from 'Chhapna' which means
'to print'. The Chhipa's have been know for their skill
and artistry in printing and handicrafts. it is still
the most common business conducted by families in
Chhipawad.
The women of Chhipawad are also very well known for
their culinary skill. They say the way to a man's heart
is through his stomach, and that holds very true for the
men of Chhipawad. The highlight of every event is food,
be it a marrige, birth, or death. There are special
meals for special times.
So, come on in, lets take a
